Summary

This data release contains digital video files from the USGS of Mount St. Helens volcano in the months leading up to the cataclysmic eruption on May 18, 1980 as well as the first two years of the eruption. Original videos were collected on an assortment of cameras and film types, including 16 mm, 8 mm and Super 8 mm during USGS field campaigns on the ground as well as from the air and on time-lapse camera stations setup around the volcano. Videos capture USGS crews collecting data as well as an assortment of volcanic processes, including dome growth, ash emissions, rockslides, and pyroclastic flows. These film records represent a tremendous resource to the volcanology community as they represent visual recordings of a truly remarkable [...]

Purpose

These visual recordings were collected to document and characterize volcanic activity at Mount St. Helens from March 1980 through August 1982. The analog films were digitized to prevent potential data loss and make them available in a modern digital format, accessible to volcano researchers, students, stakeholders and the general public.
